SECURITY PROJECTS
VIP FLIGHT PLANNING
VIP flights are inherently stressful and, ergo, fraught with danger. Countless accidents over the years leave a sad trail of statistics which show, unequivocally, that flying senior management can be one of the riskier practices in aviation.
​
Eden Consulting over the years have conducted countless successful VIP flights. We believe that our success lies in treating such a VIP flight as any other flight or, to turn that concept on its head, view even the most basic of flights as a VIP flight. As soon as parameters change, risk increases. For example, If the SOP states last flight of the day lands 15 minutes prior to sunset, we don't allow that to change for a VIP flight. We offer extensive training for Flight Operations personnel and aircrew on how to safely and effectively plan for flying our most important people in remote locations.
KIDNAP AND RANSOM
Operating in countries where there is a Kidnap and Ransom risk can be difficult to avoid for some industry leaders. How we live our lives on a day to day basis, vary routine and plan our diaries is what makes the difference when it comes to facing that risk.
​
Eden Consulting have extensive experience of working throughout Africa where this risk is currently most prevalent. We provide a comprehensive briefing package for all 'at risk' personnel and also work closely with international service providers who specialise in Kidnap and Ransom and hostage negotiation.
SECURITY RISK ASSESSMENT
Closely linked to VIP Flights and the threat of Kidnap and Ransom are the Security Risk Assessments that need to have been completed before a hostile situation can arise.
​
Eden Consulting have conducted many Security Risk Assessments over the years, particularly in countries such as the Democratic Republic of Congo and Nigeria where the threat of kidnap is very real. Our role is to conduct an in-depth security analysis followed by a thorough Risk Assessment that factors in all potential threats and likely outcomes. We will work closely with your team to mitigate these risks to ALARP - As Low As Reasonably Practical.
SECURITY AUDITING
Accurate and functional security audits can help Operators to identify any weakness in the security of their flights. It's only by asking the right questions that the holes in our protective security layers start to show through.
​
Eden Consulting has designed an Aviation Security audit programme that will expose any weaknesses in the security of your Flight Operations, from passenger and baggage security and well-being through to risk of hijack, security on ground after a precautionary, forced or crash landing in a potentially hostile environment. It also takes into account the equipment carried on board to help deal with the emergency situations outlined above. All too often the emergency equipment carried on board an aircraft is simply an audit 'tick in the box' and not of sufficient quality or functionality to be of any practical use. Our security audits will drill down to the very root of these issues and ensure that, in the unlikely event of the security of personnel being compromised during or after a flight, the equipment and procedures that can enable an effective rescue are tried, tested and functioning as advertised.
